So, what on earth does this guy think he is doing? Is he *trying* to look like he's full of crap? What was on this list? How were these issues settled? What was the final stubborn item?

The Peep Stone: February 2006

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 24, 2006. Dr Nolove or: How I learned to stop worrying and tolerate apologists. Thanks be to the rhetorical wizards at FARMS and FAIR, who have taken Hugh Nibley's suggestion that one should work from the assumption the Book of Mormon is ancient to its logical extreme, the assumption is now the only thing that matters. But I think I am being too hard on these apologists. In reality, part of their job is to keep Mormons from being snookered by all the liberals, ex-Mos, and anti-Mos in...

The Peep Stone: May 2006

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, May 10, 2006. A Chinese internet any Mormon can be proud of! I embark on this commentary with some ambivalence. Like most people, I like a pleasant environment. I may not have created the most comfortable environment for everyone on this blog, but ordinarily I enjoy to spend time in places that are clean and with people who are polite, friendly, and in control of themselves. Does this characteristic give my Mormon background away? How far are we willing to go to seek after safety? One small ex...

The Peep Stone: The Best Part...

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2007/05/best-part.html

Tuesday, May 08, 2007. On gay rights and the marriage amendment:. The question is, what is the real issue about gay rights, about same-gender marriage? Is this really a threat to the institution of marriage? No matter which way you cook it, Joseph Smith is a bundle of contradictions, an unschooled, roughhewn frontiersman - which is what New York was in 1820 - who founds a church that has become a worldwide church. It shouldn't have happened, but it did. . The Book of Mormon:. That's the message that peop...

The Peep Stone: April 2006

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html

Thursday, April 20, 2006. Please, learn about Correlation. Few things have had such an impact on LDS life as the development of Correlation. Through Correlation, the auxiliaries of the LDS Church, including the women's, children's, and youth programs all lost much of their autonomy as they passed under the more direct control of the Priesthood. Follow this link. To "By Common Consent," where a panel of scholars of Mormonism share their views about Correlation. This thread should not be missed. In this ta...

The Peep Stone: What's up with Steve Benson?

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2007/06/whats-up-with-steve-benson.html

Thursday, June 28, 2007. What's up with Steve Benson? Benson became an inspiration for disillusioned Mormons everywhere when he dared to question the competency of his grandfather to govern the LDS Church as the man slipped off of this mortal coil. LDS leaders defended the ability of President Benson to continue to lead the Church, but there was a growing sense that others were actually governing the LDS Church in the president's name and with his electronic signature.

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2007/06/to-dream-improbable-dream.html

Tuesday, June 05, 2007. To Dream the Improbable Dream. The comparable size and thickness, the use of alloyed metal and binding rings, the fact that one part is open and another sealed, the fact that the plates bear the names of witnesses, the combination of all of these factors in a pattern, make the Roman plates relevant to the Book of Mormon plates.". The claim that the Book of Mormon had a sealed portion is also related to these diplomas:. Posted by Greg Myers. Reform Mormonism Gospel Doctrine.

The Peep Stone: Reacting to the Whitney PBS Documentary

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2007/05/reacting-to-whitney-pbs-documentary.html

Friday, May 04, 2007. Reacting to the Whitney PBS Documentary. The faithful Mormon response is somewhat predictable. Many, if not most, of them did not like it. In fact, you can follow the link in the title of this post and read Deseret News' collection of largely negative responses to the documentary by a host of faithful LDS people. Posted by Greg Myers.

The Peep Stone: Terryl Givens unhappy about PBS documentary

http://thepeepstone.blogspot.com/2007/04/terryl-givens-unhappy-about-pbs.html

Sunday, April 29, 2007. Terryl Givens unhappy about PBS documentary. Here is an excerpt from the 4/28 article by Peggy Fletcher Stack published in the Salt Lake Tribune:. This does a grave disservice to the church in light of Helen's stated objective to get beyond the stereotypes," Givens said. Nineteenth century polygamy is part of Mormon history and deserves to be told. But there is no possible justification for including Warren Jeffs. It is misrepresentation at best and defamation at worst&#46...That ...
